March 17, 2023, Update – We confirmed the listing for this “Classifind” expired, so with no replacement found, we’re assuming this ride is “Sold?” While this one got away, please reach out either by email or call us directly if you’d like to be informed when we come across something similar.

January 27, 2023 Update – The Internet and Guys With Rides never forget a classic ride featured on Craigslist. After nearly one year without any additional listings following the expiration of their original Craigslist in February 2022, we came across a new listing.  While the description this time is completely different, the excellent carryover pictures from last year have us thinking this is the same seller and not a flip after only one year.  While the original ask last year was $49,000, this year the seller started at $49,500.

March 30, 2022, Update – We just confirmed the listing for this “Classifind” expired, so with no replacement found we’re assuming this ride “Sold?” While this one got away, please reach out either by email or call us directly if you’d like to be informed when we come across something similar.

We normally pass on featuring Chevy-powered vintage Ford customs. However, the stunning photographs of this nicely-raked 1948 Ford Super Deluxe restomod originally listed in February 2022 in North Scottsdale, Arizona (Phoenix) have us making an exception. Currently listed for $49,000 or best offer, we challenge anyone to recreate a similar car for that amount.

In addition to the excellent photographs, the seller provides a detailed description below.
